Description
Murder for Christmas by Francis Duncan is a festive mystery that combines mulled wine, mince pies, and murder. When Mordecai Tremaine arrives at Benedict Grame's country retreat in Sherbroome on Christmas Eve, he finds the partygoers are in high spirits - but tensions run deep among the guests. As midnight strikes, the revelry turns to horror as a body is discovered under the tree, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Father Christmas. With snow falling and suspicions flying, Mordecai must use his skills to sniff out the killer and prevent another murder from taking place. This traditional whodunit has a crackling atmosphere of dread and horror that will keep you guessing until the end. A golden age-style murder mystery with humour, excellent characterisation, and a gentle tone, Murder for Christmas is a great way to while away a winter's evening. Its blend of festive atmosphere and suspense makes it an ideal read for the holiday season.
